End of an era, Modric says 'goodbye' to Real Madrid

It's all over for Luka Modric at Real Madrid.

After 597 appearances, 28 trophies and 13 years, the 39-year-old Croatian has played his last match for Real.

And while Wednesday's defeat to Paris St-Germain in the Club World Cup semi-final proved a forgettable final, Modric's career for the Spanish giants will never be forgotten.

Coach Xabi Alonso said it was "a bitter end for him, but he is a football legend and will be remembered forever by Real Madrid."

The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner's Real Madrid trophies include six Champions Leagues and four domestic titles since joining Real from Spurs in 2012.

"The moment has come. The moment I never wanted to come, but this is football, and in life everything has a beginning and an end," Modric said on Instagram when his departure was announced. " I arrived in 2012 with the hope of wearing the shirt of the best team in the world and with the ambition to do great things, but I could not have imagined what would come next. Playing for Real Madrid changed my life as a footballer and as a person."
